Abstract
Supportive care for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is defined as a broad range of interventions that ameliorate the symptoms of a disease, or the side effects caused by treatment, and which address psychological, cultural, social and spiritual factors.1 Transfusion support and infection management are key examples of supportive care that have contributed significantly to the successes of more intensive chemotherapy, delivering improvements in outcomes despite, arguably, only modest improvements in chemotherapy regimens.2 This article will review our current practice of transfusion therapy and infection management and identify research opportunities which the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) AML working party are supporting, alongside forthcoming national AML trials.
